The answers here while they are correct, in that you need the credentials.json file, they are incorrect, in that the instructions are clear on the PHP Quickstart page. The instructions are not clear anymore. See the screenshot below for step 1:

Screenshot of step 1

How to get the credentials.json file:

Currently, in the prerequisites there is:

A Google Cloud Platform project with the API enabled. To create a project and enable an API, refer to Create a project and enable the API

Screenshot of current instructions

That brings you to further pages that eventually get you to create the OAuth 2.0 Client IDs. Google Cloud Console > APIs & Services > Credentials > OAuth 2.0 Client IDs. You have to have created an ID. If you have there will be a download option to the right.

Download icon to the right

Click it and then there is a download json option.

Download json button screenshot

Put the downloaded file into the same folder as the quickstart.php file and rename it credentials.json.

As far as I could tell there was no clear direction for the credentials.json file being needed. I left feedback on that page regarding this lack of information. If you run into the same problem I suggest you do too.

Note very clear instructions in https://developers.google.com/calendar/api/quickstart/php#step_1_turn_on_the.

Even if you use composer you have to follow these steps: https://github.com/googleapis/google-api-php-client#authentication-with-oauth

The file used in the method $client->setAuthConfig('credentials.json'); is not created by running the code. It's created following the Step 1 on the PHP Quickstart. You will get a .json file that will look like this one:

{
  "installed":
  {
    "client_id":"your-id",
    "project_id":"your-project- id",
    "auth_uri":"https://accounts.google.com/o/oauth2/auth",
    "token_uri":"https://oauth2.googleapis.com/token",
    "auth_provider_x509_cert_url":"https://www.googleapis.com/oauth2/v1/certs",
    "client_secret":"your-scret",
    "redirect_uris": ["urn:ietf:wg:oauth:2.0:oob","http://localhost"]
  }
}

After you get it, save it in the same place where you have your quickstart.php file.
